Bug ID: 159529
Summary: Excessive memory consumption in v24.2
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 24.2.0.3 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: macOS (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Up until v7.6, I haven’t had noticeable issues with memory use. The typical
memory consumption with my usage habits has been on the order of a few hundred
MBs. Even at the extreme, it can’t have been much more than 1 GB, or I would
have started paying attention.
With v24.2, after a few hours of light use, I noticed LO occupying 4.5 GB of
memory, so I investigated a bit.
1. Simply launching LO and creating an empty Writer document brings memory
usage up to 570 MB.
2. Interacting with modal dialogs (e.g., Edit Paragraph Style) continually
increases memory consumption as I cycle through the tabs in the dialog. The
memory is never released, even when I close the dialog. Very quickly I get at 1
GB.
3. Opening the font selector dropdown in the toolbar and scrolling down through
the entire list causes memory usage to balloon from 1 GB to 2.25 GB.
I performed the same steps with Skia disabled. Steps 1 & 3 had the same outcome
as before, but in step 2 the memory leak was no longer there. I downgraded back
to v7.6.4 and could no longer reproduce any of the three.
